Quote #7

CARL: Hold on. No f***in' way! You f***in' notice this?! I got f***in' shot!! I got f***in' shot in the face!! I went and got the f***in' money! I got shot f***in' pickin' it up! I've been up for thirty-six f***in' hours! I'm takin' that f***in' car! That f***er's mine, ya f***in' asshole. Ya know, I've been listenin' to your f***in' bulls*** all week. Are we square? Are we square? Yeah, ya f***in' mute. And if you see your friend Shep Proudfoot, tell him I'm gonna nail his f***in' ass!

Carl's foul-mouthed freak-out is an evident factor in provoking Gaear to kill him. We already know that Gaear killed Jean because she was too noisy. Again, the dude just has no cool for a criminal. He doesn't think long-term and he's completely unable to foresee the way other people might react to the things he says and does. Gaear's just told him seconds before that he killed Jean for being too noisy. Ya think he'd shut up.

Quote #8

MARGE: And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper.

More hilarious Minnesota understatement. Infamously, that's the way Gaear disposes of Carl's corpse—putting it through a wood chipper. It might seem clever, but it's actually spraying Carl's bloody remains all over the snow. If Gaear was smart, he probably would've just buried Carl in an unmarked grave, or just left the cabin and driven off.
